Ranger shuts off while driving?? Need help ASAP
1991 Ranger V6 3.0L.
I was driving down the road yesterday when my truck suddenly shut off. Whilst it was winding down, I heard a clicking noise (almost as if something was caught but then giving way, kind of like a radiator fan). But wen I popped the hood, the radiator fan was fine and so were the belts. When starting, the engine would turn over with no problem, but it just wouldn't catch/turn on.
A little more info; whenever I would start up the truck and drive away, I would hear the same "catching" noise as I was driving away (almost sounded as if I ran over something plastic). This happened three times yesterday, every time that I would begin to drive after starting.
TL;DR Truck randomly stalled and made a funny noise when turning off, also won't turn on anymore. It made the same funny (clicking) noise when driving shortly after starting truck (when it did start).
My theory is the fuel pump, but I hope that I'll be wrong.
